Maintenance Procedure
Drive Train
Drive Chain Lubrication Condition Inspection
•
If a special lubricant is not available, a heavy oil such as
SAE 90 is preferred to a lighter oil because it will stay on
the chain l onger and provide better lubrication.
•
If the chain appears especially dirty, clean it before lubri-
cation.
CAUTION
The O-rings between the side plates seal in the lu-
bricant between the pin and the bushing. To avoid
damaging the O-rings and resultant loss of lubri-
cant, observe the following rules.
Use only kerosene or diesel oil for cleaning of the
O-ring of the drive chain.
Any other cleaning solution such as gasoline
or trichloroethylene will cause deterioration and
swelling of the O-ring.
Immediately blow the chain dry with compressed air
after cleaning.
Complete cleaning and drying the chain within 10
minutes.
•
Apply oil to the sides of the rollers so that oil will penetrate
to the rollers and bushings. Apply the oil to the O-rings so
that the O-rings will be coated with oil.
•
Wipe off any excess oil.

Drive Chain Slack Inspection
NOTE
○
Check the slack with the motorcycle setting on its side
stand.
○
Clean the chain if it is dirty, and lubricate it if it appears
dry.
•
Check the wheel alignment (see W heel Alignment Inspec-
tion).
•
Rotate the rear wheel to find the position where the chain
is tightest.
•
Measure the vertical movement (chain slack) [A] midway
between the sprockets.
If the chain slack exceeds the standard, adjust it.
Chain Slack
Standard: 30 ∼ 35 mm (1.2 ∼ 1.4 in.)
